Tidal has been a polarising presence in the music landscape since it launched last year. As well as being home to some fark-off huge exclusive releases like Beyonce’s Lemonade and Yeezy’s The Life Of Pablo, it’s also been dogged by lawsuits and instances of organisational clusterfuckery.

However, a hypothetical merger with Apple would likely accentuate the positives while eliminating many of the negatives, combining Tidal-exclusive content like Prince’s back catalogue with Apple’s current musical storehouse.

Industry eggheads also reckon an unholy alliance between the pair would pose some serious competition for Spotify, which is currently reigning king of the streaming game.
